It's Beginning to LOOK a lot like Christmas, now.
Only 12 days to go...
I'm getting there.
Devoting today to getting the last of the cards out.
Mailed Loretta's package last week...and most of the Christmas, otherwise, is in the form of giftcards...yeah...no mingling with crowds and shopping this year.
Finally found this year's "Tossed Teddy" on eBay and he is arriving soon.
A well-loved Gund.
I've a bright red ribbon bow just waiting for him.
(...for those who do not know I select and buy one used teddy bear every Christmas and have for years...)
Talked with our middle, Lennon, earlier this week...and will be catching up with him later today since the SC tossed Texas's lawsuit, and basically told Trump to pack it in.
Had a great drop-in from both Chris (who is nearly finished with this 8 weeks) and James (and Thanos) this morning...a nice surprise!!!
John and I holding off on both his birthday celebration and Christmas until mid-January...because...yeah... Covid.
Earlier this week:
Worldwide 71 million are infected and over 1.5 million are dead.
The good new is, that the UK vaccination has started, and the FDA has cleared for us to start as soon as next week! By next year's holiday season we may even be able to spend it with family and friends, again.
I seriously hope so.
Missing normal so much...I suppose we all are.
This Week's Movie:
Give it up...Die Hard will ALWAYS be the Ultimate Christmas Movie...okay???
This Week's Book:
Part memoir...part reflection...and a great deal Zen...an enormously engaging book.
It sometimes imparts wisdom you didn't even know you needed!
A funny aside, like all people who have a distinctive voice (...think Morgan Freeman...) I found myself reading this, in my mind, in McConaughey's voice throughout.
Very introspective and interesting book.
Alright...alright...alright.
See...now you're doing it, too!
Baking cookies and back to the cards....
